Water Pump with metal impeller
« on: 17 May 2009, 15:53 »
Where definatley does the metal impeller? Does GSF? Just need to know before I get a load of 'they only come in plastic' as one place I've tried can only get plastic.

Most palces have revised the design of the plastic impellor water pump so it's not so fragile, I don't think it's a major prob any more

wazzer has hit the nail on the head. The new plastic ones are made from a different composite and much stronger so its not a worry anymore

I was speaking to the master mechanic at vw near me recently.

He still buys a metal one to put in his car.....

I think that speaks volumes ;)

hmmm that's interesting, the one I bought from them a month or so ago had the plastic impellor.

I will query why they have changed over and ask if I can send mine back to change it over...

VW maniacs are like anyone else and get stuck in there ways. We use plastics on our machines and its as strong and sometimes stronger than the steel as the steel can stretch

Each to there own but you could end up chasing something you dont need
